Joe Biden, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, said Sunday that the nation would be better equipped to respond to outbreaks such as the coronavirus pandemic if he were serving in the White House.
“No President can promise to prevent future outbreaks. But I can promise you that when I'm President, we will prepare better, respond better, and recover better,†the former vice president wrote in an op-ed published by CNN.
“We will lead with science, listen to experts, and heed their advice. We will rebuild American leadership and rally the world to meet global threats. And I will always, always tell the truth. That is the responsibility of a President,†he added.
In the op-ed, Biden outlines many of proposals laid out in his plan to combat COVID-19, which he released on Thursday.
